Thinking of bidding on this auction. What do you think the grade is? Sometime tells me something ant right. mmmmmmmmmmm:stooge: http://cgi.ebay.com/1864-Indian-Hea...66:2|39:1|72:1240|240:1309|301:1|293:1|294:50
Longacre doubling. Stay away when they say they paid way more than they are selling for. Usually means liar. Who wants to buy from a liar? And no returns, even a warnign about returns. Try to get on this guys blocked bidders list.
I like the part where he states the coin is a 64-65, maybe even a 65 red, then issues the disclaimer "I have no idea if the coin has been cleaned, whizzed or damaged... alot can happen to a coin in 150 years."
Agree with all above. I seriously doubt he paid 'over a thousand dollars' for an unslabbed coin. He's either a very bad business man with extremely poor judgement or a crook -- neither of which I would deal with.
It's risky enough to buy color-free, uncertified silver and nickel coins of value, sight-unseen. Often, it's even more of a gamble with bronze or copper nickel coinage which can tend to have additional issues with re-coloring and/or unnatural (dipped) color. If you bid on such coins you are trying to defy the odds, and more times than not, you will probably end up a loser.
